NAMES

The New York phone book had 22 Hitlers listed before World War II ...

and none after.

The three best-known western names in China: Jesus Christ, Richard

Nixon, and Elvis Presley.

 

 

NAMES

In Greece they change Charleston Hesston's name to Charleston Easton, because the name Hesston means poop your pants in Greek.  What does your name mean?

 

NAMES

From a Legal Notice of a Name Change in the Honolulu

Advertiser, August 24, 2005: change name from "Waiaulia Alohi

anail ke alaamek kawaipi olanihenoheno Kam Paghmani" to

"Waiaulia Alohi anail ke alaamek kawaipi olanihenoheno Kam."

[Honolulu Advertiser, 8-24-05]

 

 

Prov. 22:1 A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, and favor is better than silver or gold.

 

First off this is not talking about choosing a name… so if your mom named you Shtank Feerochus Wilson and you feel cheated… change your name. But know that this verse is telling you that a good name to be chosen is meant “you choose your names meaning by how you live”.

 

Simple: I mention a name and you immediately favor it and trust it or you don’t.

 

So how do people feel about your name? What are you doing to give yourself the type of reputation that allows you to influence people for God. 

 

Ever read the bible and like in Matthew 1 you get to where they give all the names…You can barely say most of them… but each name is a story, it is a reputation 

The Bible gives us a list of human stories on both sides of the ledger. One list

of human stories is used as examples as do what these people did. Another list

of human stories is used as warnings - don't do what these people did. So if

your story ever gets told, make sure they use it as an example,

not a warning.

 

 

Does everyone respect and like my name? Oh absolutely not. I have a few past friends that have done their best to taint my name… but here is what I say… I am not in charge of my reputation… as much as I am in charge of my character. 

 

Ultimately your reputation is based on what others think of you… and yes you should be concerned about that… but your character is what God thinks about you. 

 

make your name stick by choosing character that God would approve of. Make God look Good and you will always look good to him regardless of how bad you may look to others.
